GET request to test the connection
After RaptorXML+XBRL Server has been started, test the connection using a GET request. (You can also type this request in the address bar of a browser window.)
http://localhost:8087/v1/version
| Note: | The interface and port number of RaptorXML+XBRL Server is specified in the server configuration file, server_config.xml, which is described in the next section, Server Configuration. |
Server response and JSON data structure listing
If the service is running and the server is correctly configured, the request should never fail. RaptorXML+XBRL Server will return its version information as a JSON data structure (listing below).
